this battery lasts one hour with this light:http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/836612-REG/watson_b_1517_lp_e6_battery_pack_for.htmlI would buy several so you can have enough on hand. You don't a bigger battery because it makes the light too top heavy.

I've used this intermittently. The battery has lasted over 2 hours. Does a good job. Well built and reasonably priced.

Hi Gregory,I have had mine for several months now and have absolutely no issues with it. Battery life might not be as good as some would like (4 - 6 hours, depending upon specific use), but mine stays mostly plugged in, so it is really a non-issue for me. I use mine for work, have produced a few videos with it just to compare it with my desktop system, and use it in conjunction with Chromecast to watch high definition movies on my large screen TV. The 17" display on the laptop is very good at watching high definition movies from short distances. There may be better units out there, but I am not disappointed at all with this one.

I've been testing mine out recently - I run for about 2hours, 2hours 15 mins. It usually lasts 2 such days - so 4- 4 1/2 hours- which is quite disappointing. I have a feeling indoor battery life maybe slightly better. I was looking for the "rated" battery like myself. Would be nicer if it went a week without charge.

I can't say that I've check on the battery life. It seems to last pretty long. I will check this week and try to repost.

I owned one of these new from hp. my battery would last up to 4- 1/2 hours. But I followed the owners manual. And this is the best laptop that HP has made in a while. and If I had extra money I would buy myself another one.

Someone posted in here somewhere that the the battery life is more like 2 hours for 2 hour charge. Apparently there is a problem with the charger that can be remedied by the way you charge it.

I've had my Lenovo since June and almost exclusively keep it plugged in. I used the battery a couple of times but only for a short period. So, I really can't comment on the battery life. However, I do understand that it's good for only 2 hours or so. I've read other complaints about that. Also, can't comment on the battery replacement issue. Sorry!

I've had mine for over a year. I just keep it on the charging base, use it, and put it back. I have never drained the battery, and I've noticed no drop in battery life with it being on the charging base 24/7.

Thanks very much for your response. I'm only getting about an hour or less of battery life. I'm very disappointed. Thanks again.

I've had mine for quite a while. I love it and have had no problems. Keeps a charge for hours! Maybe you got a bad one.

I have been using this unit for a few months now and still get 4 or more hours from battery. Depending upon what I am doing some times more. Hope this helps you.

Mine has been awesome. Charged it the first time and took it deer hunting and used it a lot without it going out or needing another charge. Have been using it here at the house to do chores in the evenings. I just charged it back up last weekend. I would comfortly say I have had it on for well over 6 hours on the initial charge. The last week here as been below zero and I have had to use it out working and it has not fadded at all. I'd ask for a replacement if at all possible.

I don't know the life span of the battery. I still have the same one that came with it when I bought it back in December. Maybe someone who has had one of these longer could give you a better idea about the battery life.

I have had good experience with the battery.... It lasts me a week or more and I use it about an hour or more per day during my daily walk. Regarding the 'choppy' audio... Initially I noticed a little of that, but moved my iPhone (source of the music I was listening to) to a different pocket and it resolved that issue. Sometimes there is a little "blip" when you are walking rapidly, but has not been bothersome to me.

I may not be the best test case for this but I can say it lasted me the entire week on vacation and had 20% of the battery life left after 7 days. I probably used it much less than the average user so I am sure your results will vary depending on usage. I would guess it would last at least the entire day under normal use.

Hello Laura,I primarily use it at work and have it on all day (7-8 hours). The battery life seems to be good...generally lasts all week. Hope this info helps :)Marsha

That's a good question. I don't see the battery life mentioned in the literature, but I don't think it has 10 hours of battery life. I'm prompted for a power source after a couple of hours. I have to say though, that I love this computer and highly recommend it. My husband is a software engineer. He chose the computer based on its specs out of a number of other options. He was so right. It's a powerful computer.
